...have been enough. A notoriously unorthodox administrator, Foot has been a Cabinet minister only since 1974 and has never held any of the top portfolios normally considered essential background for No. 10. Beyond that, Foot was thought to be especially vulnerable in a general election campaign against Tory Leader Margaret Thatcher.

Africa's answer to Ann Landers, Uganda's President-Dictator Idi Amin, has volunteered his interpretation of the marital split between Britain's Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon. Big Daddy expressed "sincere sympathy" over troubles in the royal couple's 16-year marriage, and declared that the breakup should "be a lesson to all of us men to be careful not to marry ladies in very high positions, as husbands in such marriages can summarily be dismissed by their wives."

...parted pair-was apparent in Lord Snowdon's comment on the separation last week from Sydney, Australia, where he is opening a show of his own photographs. He told a press conference that he wanted "to pray for the understanding of our two children, to wish Princess Margaret every happiness for her future, and to express with utmost humility my love, admiration and respect I will always have for her sister, mother and indeed her entire family." After such a sad and stormy marriage, it seemed a gallant goodbye...
